wow! This poem illustrates the gift of leaving a life draining situation. It shows the destruction that results from not being true to yourself. It is not a good idea to lose yourself in a relationship. It is important to love yourself enough to nurture your dreams and needs. If I have to crush everything that is me to be in relationship with a person, I need to exit asap. Thank you for writing this.

A poem of change. Sometimes it takes change to make us realize that we have been lost and not being true to ourselves. Sometimes we hold on to a situation only because we are hesitant to change. Then when we are forced to, we embrace it and carry on, enlightened. Bless, Judester

A sad, hopeful poem. "I miss you so-but I'm alive." Sometimes we have to give up something we love to be true to ourselves. Having her speak right to Michael gives an intimate sense to the poem.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Beautifully penned, Author 'X', and also very true. Certainly we have to commit ourselves totally to our spouses. Share in their triumphs as well as pick them up when defeated. But, to stifle their creativity, their unique voice, to me, is unconscionable. It happens quite often in long, on-going relationships, and one can certainly understand the protagonists feelings of freedom, and being alive.
Well done, and I wish you all the best in the contest!

I love the picture. I love the poem. It takes a lot if healing when a loved one dies. You almost feel guilty that you are still alive. But it is better to have loved and lost than not loved at all. I lost my husband 5 years ago I do not regret a day I had with him.

I liked this write of yours on 'growth' moving on and accepting that what is - is. I imagine an emotional write for you but a satisfying read for the reader who gives you a round of applause for moving on and up. I wish you luck - Dinah

Nice. I don't know a lot about poetry, but I could feel the surety, the confidence in finding oneself. That is certainly the better side to heaing. Good luck with the contest.
